…because no family should face tragedy alone
Every two days in Australia, a worker dies on the job.
Behind every statistic is a family left to navigate unimaginable grief, financial stress, and a broken system that offers little in the way of immediate support.
Touched by Christopher Foundation supports families in these critical early moments to ensure they are not left to face it alone.
We provide direct financial assistance, emotional support, and a compassionate presence grounded in lived experience.
This isn’t charity. This is community standing beside families when they need it most.
…who we support
We support families in New South Wales who have lost a loved one in a fatal workplace incident.
Inspired by Christopher Cassaniti’s legacy, our assistance is focused on the immediate household of the deceased — those who were living with them at the time of their passing.
This ensures that support goes directly to the people most immediately impacted — often those facing sudden financial pressure while navigating the early days of unimaginable grief.
…how we help
We provide crucial financial assistance to grieving families including:
3 months’ worth of groceries
$1,500 for utilities
$5,000 towards rent/mortgage
This assistance is crucial to enable families and loved ones to grieve without the additional financial burden adding stress or requiring premature return to work.
Our support is tailored for the immediate household of the deceased, based on the number of people living in the home at the time of the incident.
This ensures timely and fair assistance to those most directly impacted by the loss.
